Greater Contagion
Greater Contagion
This spell functions as Contagion, except the victim cannot overcome the disease without magic. The subject contracts one of the following diseases: blinding sickness, bubonic plague, cackle fever, filth fever, leprosy, mindfire, red ache, shakes, or slimy doom. The disease is contracted immediately (the onset period does not apply). The victim cannot overcome the disease without magic (i.e. making the required number of saves does not cure it), and the DC to remove the disease with magic is equal to the save DC +5.

On Takesday, Tailormoon, 1313, believing that Connie Furr knew about her secret Kitsune identity, Viziera Guinevera Dargent attempted to infect the bunbun of the Noble Court with a Greater Contagion potion carrying myxomatosis (rabbit plague). Having sent Seneschal Swiles to purchase the potion from Strychnine's apothecary shop the previous evening, Guinevera served the contagion to Connie, alongside fellow bunbun Echo Bunnyman and Bugsby Cottontail, while they were travelling to a "bunny playdate" at the Baharat Estate. She also gave a glass to Scarlett Dargent, knowing myxomatosis is harmless to foxes, to trick Connie into believing it was safe. Luckily all three bunbun were able to withstand the infection, and Martini identified the contagion before they got the chance drink any more.
